Cosmetic Dentistry

Over the years, there has been a significant increase in cosmetic dental procedures. Having a bright, healthy, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence! Advancements in technology have allowed for pain-free procedures without the use of anesthesia.

Bonding is very durable and typically lasts many years, however, they will wear and discolor over time, and will eventually need to be replaced.

Bonding is a composite resin used to reshape or repair chipped and uneven teeth. It is an affordable alternative to invasive and more costly procedures, such as orthodontics and veneers. Although very durable and typically long-lasting, bonding will wear and discolor over time, eventually needing to be replaced.

A tooth filling replaces decayed or damaged tooth material in instances where the cavity or damage is relatively minor. Fillings protect teeth from further decay and resulting pain, reducing sensitivity by covering areas that are missing their protective enamel.

Dental implants can be used to replace missing teeth without affecting existing teeth in the mouth. Dental implants are metal posts or frames which are surgically inserted into the jawbone below the gum and act as a platform (substitute tooth root) for a dentist to mount replacement teeth.

LUMINEERS® are an excellent option for people who are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their teeth. These ultra-thin, porcelain slips fit perfectly over teeth, making them look cosmetically perfect and completely beautiful.

Also known as a cap, a crown is a custom-made artificial restoration that permanently covers your tooth. They are often made of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or full gold. When you have chipped or cracked teeth, a crown will be placed over your tooth to visibly and physically revitalize your smile. Getting a crown when you need one will restore and often completely save your tooth’s shape, size, and overall strength.

A dental bridge is a non-removable appliance that bridges the gap between missing teeth. There are many different kinds of bridges; you and your doctor will discuss with you the best option. Dental bridges are highly durable, and therefore will last for many years. However, they will need replacement eventually due to normal wear.

Onlays, soften referred to as a partial crown, are custom made fillings used to repair teeth that have large defective fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma. They are popular because they most resemble your natural tooth.

Veneers are delicate sheets of tooth-colored porcelain materials that bind to the front surfaces of your teeth to regenerate the look of your natural teeth while also providing extra strength.

Procera® crowns function in exactly the same way as traditional crowns, but their fully ceramic composition means that the restoration looks far more natural. Procera® crowns are precision-engineered to create a beautiful fit and restore full functionality to the injured tooth.

Aside from years of stain accumulation due to variables like food, drink and smoking habits, discoloration is possible as a result of certain diseases or medications a person has been prescribed to take.
